Written in diary form, this Cinderella-themed tale is expertly
woven by the master award-winning authoress, Barbara Brooks
Wallace. Anderson "Andy" Lillibeth Wardell makes 25 entries in her
diary, spanning 8 long months, taking place in China and the United
States. It is a most unsettling and trying time for the
10-year-old, whose been nicknamed Shao Gwai (Little Devil) by her
servants Andy confides in us that she wishes her newborn baby
brother be whisked off to an orphanage in China, where he would
only visit her to deliver presents from time-to-time. But Andy
discovers you must be very careful what you wish for when her baby
brother goes away forever -- taking Mummy with him. Her
tribulations ratchet up whilst in the U.S., when her Daddy marries
a widow with twin daughters, both of whom befriend a stuck-up girl
Andy thinks stole her best friend, Donald. It all reaches a fever
pitch when an older Chinese girl at school confides in Andy,
entrusting her with a secret that is almost more than she can bear
to know. The diary culminates with a showdown between Donald and
Andy during Christmastime, under a mistletoe. Andy's adventures
have ended -- but it may be the start of a whole new diary
